I had a pretty awesome Christmas this year. Lots and lots of family time (all within Tampa this year, yay!), lots of great food (turns out holidays are great for eating Paleo), lots of treats (not very Paleo) and lots of fantastic gifts. I wore the above outfit all day on Christmas, which turned out to be perfect. It’s really out of my usual comfort zone (midi peasant skirt, white top, heels) but I loved it. The simplicity of basic neutrals with turquoise accessories looked nice without being overdressed or too casual. The jersey skirt meant that I didn’t have extra discomfort after eating too many cookies. And the wedge sandals dressed things up and weren’t super uncomfortable.
This is what my awesome boyfriend got me. He had already bought the eBags packing cubes from Amazon for me (I’d been wanting these for years; I can’t wait to try them out next time I travel) and he wasn’t sure what else he should buy me for Christmas. I suggested he try Anthropologie. He went, found some presents for me, and told me that Anthro could be called the “Diana store” because he could have closed his eyes and pointed at anything there and I would have liked it
I’ve already been digging into the book he got me, and I absolutely love it. The other present I was super excited about. Carlo has a very sensitive sense of smell and most perfumes irritate him. Thus I haven’t worn perfume since we’ve been together for the past five years. But I was really missing wearing a scent. Without me eve telling him to, he found a perfume at Anthro that didn’t irritate his senses and bought it for me. And I love it! It’s light, floral with just a hint of ocean breeze. This will be a favorite for years to come.
Here’s some other random pics from the festivities:
This is the stuff I got from family.

I got this ornament when I was a kid, and it’s still awesome
